I wish to advise the Deputy that my Department is currently formulating the accommodation brief for the proposed building project to cater for the recently amalgamated primary schools in Tuam. This will then facilitate the commencement of the architectural planning process, which will include the appointment of a design team, to deliver the project. My Department will be in further contact with the patron when the brief formulation process has been completed.
